Anyone who has ever been to Haarlem At Babette's knows. Babette makes the tastiest, creamiest cakes, scones and other tasty treats. Then Covid came and the place had to close. Babette didn't have a problem with that. They made a weekly one baking box with which children can bake their own goodies. Inspiration, recipe and all supplies are included. While cooking, they are off the street again for a while. Learn something useful. And you all end up with a tasty treat. winning due.

You order the bake boxes from At Babette's via bijbabette@live.nl or give them a call. They also have gluten-free, vegan and even sugar-free variants. Yumm!

There are plenty of fun ones cookbooks for children.
At The Little Parade we spotted it cooking playbook for children aged 2-8 years: Sunny Good Food. Together with the sunny figure Sunny you will go through game activities and tips. And of course the book is full of tasty and easy recipes.
We wrote about it earlier Miffy's cookbook which was made together with Samuel Levie. Childishly easy stories about where food comes from. And recipes to get your little one to eat healthily.
The Belgian brand Lilliputians In addition to the cooking accessories - see below - it also has some cookbooks. Some yes, you read that right. There is a baking book with desserts, a recipe book for aperitif snacks, a fruit book and a cookbook with breakfasts.

The children's toy brand Lilliputians has a whole range of baking supplies with 'Little Chef'. From baking tins in multiple sizes to measuring cups. From egg tray to egg separator. And from chef's hats to cookie stamps. Not only handy but also pleasantly colorful in the kitchen. Now we just have to train the little one so that he or she can do it all by himself. And your job as a parent is done.

Yes, we love fiesta and sinning. But we also like balance. If we have eaten too much home-made cake during the day, then we think something nutritious should (no: must) be on the program for the evening. But who, oh who, feels like cooking an elaborate meal again after all the mess in the kitchen? Not us.

We have recently found a solution to this: we make our own pizza and pasta and, quite simply, add the vegetables only jars from NaturNes Bio. And that is really, believe us, a great tip. For example, we spread the pizza base with tomato pizza paste from Mister Kitchen and the carrot-sweet potato from Naturnes Bio. Buy the pizza base made from cauliflower from Magioni (available at AH) – it is really delicious. Some mozzerella, some meat or fish and herbs from your own garden and you have a winning meal. A jar of pea-broccoli is mixed with the pasta and a jar of carrot-sweet potato is mixed with the curry. Of course we all eat from the same pot – really tasty, also for you. Promise.
